Pivot Pylons for FB-111 (4 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0499 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0499 is a 1/48 Pivot Pylons set (4 pcs) for the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark / FB-111. Pivot pylons are a key visual and structural part of swing-wing loadouts, and this set is intended to provide cleaner pylon geometry and sharper detail where kit parts can look simplified.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models.

This upgrade is useful when you want consistent left/right pylon shapes or a more defined base for stores carried on the wing pivots. Because wing glove interfaces, mounting tabs, and the chosen wing sweep position vary by kit tooling and build setup, installation should be treated as kit-dependent even with an Any / Universal recommendation.

For modelers: decide your wing sweep position early and dry-fit pylons with the wings in that position to confirm clearance. Test-fit intended stores before final glue, and keep primer coats thin so edges and small details remain crisp.

FAQ

Will these pivot pylons fit any 1/48 F-111/FB-111 kit?

The set is Any / Universal, but wing pivot interfaces and locating tabs vary by kit tooling. Dry-fit first and adjust only the hidden contact areas if needed.

Do I need to choose a wing sweep position before installing pylons?

Yes. Wing sweep affects pylon clearance and alignment. Dry-fit pylons with the wings set to your chosen position to avoid interference later.

How can I keep left and right pylons aligned evenly?

Test-fit all pylons on both wings at the same time and compare from front and underside views. Small adjustments at the mounting faces help maintain symmetry.
